N6w Railroad to MouPrie.
The people of Meigs in Thomas
county, are congratulating them
selves on the prospect of having
a direct line of railroad to Moul
trie In the near' future. The
Swift Lumber- company is plann
ing to extend the tram road be
longing to the company from
Meigs to Moultrie, and a large
force of hands is said to be husy
getting but crossties,, cutting a
right of way and grading for
the line. A number of carloads
of steel rails have also been re
vived by the company, and it
looks as if there was no doubt
. of the fact that the road would
he built.
This line will open up a fine
{griping section in Thomas and

iboth the business men and farm-

\. SESSION THIS WEEK.
The Cairo correspondent: to

prise, in Uii issue last Tuesday,
md the foliowihg compiimentV'ry
reference to the message deliv ;
eredto Ooiincll by Mayor Led ford
at their meeting last week.
“The new Mayer, Col. M. L
Ledfohl, is being higiy compli
mented upon his message deliver
ed at the first meeting of. the
City Fathers for 1015, The
message spoke his views plainly
arid pointedly. Some previous
adminstration, without precedent
>r legal authority, assuhted or
•islegated unto themselves free
water and lights. This privilege
was a kind of blanket order ahd
was extended to all who were
connected with the city govern
ment even, unto the remotest
degree.
Two years ago at every ward
meeting, before the primary,
the unathotized special privilege
was unanimously condemed by
the taxpayers, but their condem
nation v, as ignored by those in
authority and the delegated free
lights still burned and the Un
authorized free water still flutt
ered.
Mayor Ledford hit this unauth
orized special privilege “ker
blink,” right in the snook. The
mayor recognized thi-t this free
water and lights business was
without precedent and against
every public policy known.
Hereafter, the Mayor, Council-
men and all those who are con
nected with the city government,
oven unto the uttermost degree,
will be expected to pay for all
the citjr water they use and all

This message, as printed in full
in the Progress last week, was
read with interest by the people

comment has been made on the
message, and our peeple fully be-

Mr. Editor:
We countrymen have read
the message of the new Mayor of
Cairo with much pleasure. His
message has the right ring about
it and seems to mean business
and right*
A formnr administration de
stroyed the only place where we
country people, who trade in
Cairo, cou’d water our stock with

lieve is the only town in Georgia
without n public watering place

some convenience is extended

find that we are far overstocked. We bought too heavi

break even. To get this big stock off our hands we are
cutting prices right and left.

Heavy Rains During |
The Past Week.
The heavy rain which began
falling Saturday night and con
tinued until Monday night great
ly interrupted farm work all over
the county as it came just at the
time when plowing was in pro-
That Peaches and Cream Com
plexion.
This time the subject is a new
toilet cream, Penslar Buttermilk
Cerate. •
If it were just “another
(.ream’”-like nearly all the rest,
we wouldn’t say anything about
it. ’This space is too expensive
to be’devoted to common things.
Grady’s School Enumeration.
Grady county is shown by the
U. S. Census to have 6, 911 chil
dren between the ages of six and
twenty years, and 3, 700 or 53.5
percent of them attend school.
The data contained in the report
relates to the year 1910 and has
only recently been made public.
The distribution, by four age-
groups, and the number attend
ing school is as follows:
AGE
TOTAL No.
No. AT.

this time
doubtless would show

is very different from all the
rest. It contains about 30 per
cent pure, freshly churned dairy
buttermilk.
You may .remember that your
grandmother’s “peach es-and-
cream” complexion of her girl
hood days was the result of dailv
applications of some buttermilk
compound made after her favor
ite recipe.
Penslar Buttermilk Cerate is
based on one of those good old
recipes, improved and moderniz
ed so that it has • become still
more effective.
And it is so skillfully compound
ed and delightfully perfumed
that it is a real toilet luxury
aside from its value in refreshing
cleansing, beautifying, and
nourishing the skin.
It comes in a liberal-sized
package —your fifty cents buys
enough to last a long while-
smaller size, in collapsible tube
25 cents.
If you once examine it, we
know that Penslar Buttermilk
Cerate will be your favorite,
hereafter.
